Not sure if you all caught the MTV Movie Awards but Kings of Leon performed their latest single "Use Somebody" & I'm just entranced...!
Check out the video here =)
Here are the lyrics too, which are cool:
I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
(Go and let it out)
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see
Um... I feel like I need to do a close reading of these lyrics lol
A lot of the lyrics catch my attention but I'm not exactly sure why, crazy.

Jamie Foxx & Halle Berry... Nice.
I understand the art of acting, I do.
The ability to channel & become a completely different person than yourself is something else.
You know what else is amazing about acting? Separating your real love/family life from your staged love scenes.
THIS though? This is something ELSE.
Apparently the Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards are no joke.
We've seen how YOU do, Halle... But REALLY Jamie?
Oh.... Oh OK! :-P

Art History
So! On a less bitchy note, I'm taking Art History this summer and even though I know it's gonna be a ridiculous amount of work, I'm super excited to know so much about art. I learned about technique and color in Painting and Drawing, but this is definitely going to be the icing on the cake, for sure.
Today was all about Egypt and I'm seriously in love. I've always thought the art was astonishing and the people sexy (front like you don't agree, with the golden skin and thick eyeliner) but learning about the history and the in depth analysis Prof was giving us, I'm so feeling it. We had Egypt week with the kids last summer, so I was even more attentive since I knew a little bit.
We've all seen & heard of her, but look at Nefertiti up above. I need to get like HER. (Halloween maybe?)
And the temple of Ramses II, maldita sea- how? HOW could the architecture of today seem so amazing when such monstrosities as this temple were created thousands of years ago? These ordinary people in the deadly heat creating these works of art that took God knows how long.
*dreamy sigh* It's going to be a crazy class!
And, because I'm still a kid.... I was dozing off in class thinking of my FAVORITE episode of Sesame Street as a kid, when Bert & Ernie went inside a pyramid. Maybe it wasn't my favorite, but it was just so amazing to me and definitely the one that always sticks out in my mind now.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE I FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE!?!?!?!
Dios mio, here:
The way the fucking statues looked like them and kept bothering Ernie, got me everytime.
So happy I found this.

PS- hey hot stuff... let's go to Egypt.
Listening & Hearing are 2 Different Things
"I know you hear me, but are you listening to me?"
According to dictionary.com, hear- to perceive by the ear while listen- to give attention with the ear.
TO GIVE ATTENTION.
People need to learn to listen.
I know what it's like, I find myself doing it sometimes, where we ask a question just so that the person's answer can fill up the quiet. It's like we panic when nobody is saying anything, not realizing that silence is juuuuuuust fine.
I'm sick and tired of people (just one) calling me and not LISTENING when I speak, when I answer a question, when an interesting thought comes to mind. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that such busy people (just one) can find the time to reach out to me every once and a while... but what kind of conversation is this if you're the only one talking?
[VENTING DOESN'T COUNT. We all deserve time to let it all out, definitely.]
But what's it mean when I have to keep repeating myself? Or when I'm asked a question, my answer isn't paid attention to and the other person just turns the conversation into something about them?
OK, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself and it's just a phone thing.
Blah, I don't know. I just can't stand that there's such a huge (ignored) difference between HEARING & LISTENING.
People, you'll be appreciated so much more if you just listen- even to the silence.
I know this is pretty random, but it's just annoying. It's not all about you, it's about us.

Twenty-One
MAY 20TH, a little after 1 AM.
I feel like I made it.
I remember being a kid wondering what I would look like, how I would dress, what I would be doing, my personality at this age.. and here I am.
Twenty-One.
Well, I look the exact same way- except for my nose ring and glasses.
I dress a little funkier, am still a nerd and I can't help but think of that Floetry line:
" I love the girl I used to be, every step she took was reaching out to me."
So true, people change but I'm certainly a developed version of little Frances.
Sounds simple, maybe it is, but it's how I see myself.
It feels weird, is this part 2 of my life?
If my life were a chapter book, would today be a completely different section, with a new subtitle? The whole works?
I'm looking forward to what this age and year has to offer.
It's not just about being able to hit up every club and lounge out there.
Shit, I still can't believe they're all accessible now- and yes, I will use that toward my advantage...
But it's more than that! I'm 21! I survived 20...
And let's face it people- I'm on my way to 30. (A joke between Shai and I... but let's be serious here.)
21? Soon I'll be 25! 25? Soon I'll have kids. Kids? WHO'S THEIR FATHER?
...I got ahead of myself.
Twenty-One.
I made it ya'll.
Happy Birthday to me...
^ First picture at 21 years old- yeah I still look 12.
